Pesticides such as round up used by sf park and recreation and home gardeners should be outlawed before even thinking about using groundwater, groundwater should only be used for non potable applications, its unfair and undemocratic that only certain parts of the city must drink mixed water and there was never a vote on the decision to mix the water, the puck should pay for the installation of reverse osmosis water purification systems for every household forced to use this water.

All San Francisco drinking water must meet or exceed our current Hetch Hetchy water quality.
Groundwater should not be used for drinking water.
Use groundwater for irrigation, firefighting, and street cleaning.
The SFPUC must develop a plan to provide an adequate supply of high-quality drinking water during an emergency until full service is restored.

Mixing of known toxins into drinking water while arguing any safe level is ILL advised. All puns intended. No toxins in the drinking water supply!

My water filter used to last 6 months now lasts 6-8 weeks

This is outrageous! San Franciscans paid for and developed the water system we have today so WE could be assured of a dependable source of high quality drinking water. If you want to export water to the suburbs, send them our groundwater.
Groundwater should be used in SF for irrigation ONLY! This "blended" water stinks of decomposing materials when it comes out of our taps!

The water's taste is way worse now. Any water added should be pollutant-free to begin with. Do not rely on dilution to add crappy water to our formerly pristine supply.

Stop mixing our pure Hetch Hetchy water with contaminated groundwater! Or at least have all parts of the city receive the degraded water, if it's REALLY necessary, not just the west side.

SFPUC's "new" water mixing system is unacceptable and compromises the health of all San Franciscans. This must stop immediately!!!

We did not vote on this and we are NOT your guinea pigs. All SF residents need the best water.

The quality (taste and smell) has really gone downhill recently and the only change has been the blend. Please stop this and and do this correct way by splitting usage for different sources,

I am truly shocked that groundwater is being placed in our drinking water; totally NOT acceptable.

This is extremely important. We also MUST remove FLOURIDE and CHLORAMINE from our water supply in SF. We need to have chlorine only, not the harmful chlorine/ammonia that strips lead from our pipes and causes lead poisoning. Flouride is a deadly poison. There is NO JUSTIFICATION WHATSOEVER FOR ADDING THESE TOXIC COMPOUNDS TO OUR SF WATER SUPPLY!

Stop mixing ground water into our drinking water. Bring back our full access to Hetch Hetchy!
